I can think of about a dozen uniquely different ways to do this but they all involve script. I have other work to do but when I get a chance I will show you a way to do this. Here is some time series data from our pals at the Census Bureau:
Monthly & Annual Retail Trade ~ Time Series Data
https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/timeseries.html
Monthly & Annual Retail Trade ~ Time Series Data ~ Grocery Stores
https://www.census.gov/retail/marts/www/adv44510.txt
I uploaded the Grocery Store data into this application:
Moving Average
https://haversineconsulting.quickbase.com/db/bkks9u2da?a=td
When I get a chance I will show you how you can use script and the QuickBase API to calculate [Grocery Stores Sales 12 Month Rolling Average] from [Grocery Stores Monthly Sales] and then generate a chart of both fields over time. You will weep with joy at the simplicity of how to do this.
